[ Upstream commit ba5c25236bc3d399df82ebe923490ea8d2d35cf2 ]

The for-loop iterates with a u8 loop counter and compares this
with the loop upper limit of request->n_ssids which is an int type.
There is a potential infinite loop if n_ssids is larger than the
u8 loop counter, so fix this by making the loop counter an int.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Infinite loop")
